The most memorable line spoken in "Killer Vacation" is that of Jake Johnson, the feckless son-in-law of Mr. Benson, the head of the corporation for which Jake works. After marrying Gwenm the boss's daughter, Jake is told that he has impregnated his lover, Lindsey Harris. His first response is, "this can't be happening." He is constantly fumbling for his words and trying make excuses for predicament. Every time that he apologizes with his mantra, "I'm a jerk!", he is, at least for once, being honest with himself.

The main problem with the film was in the nasty set of characters with whom poor Lindsey has to interact. When Jake convinces her to escape for a vacation in the desert, Lindsey finds that her rival Gwen has checked in to the bridal suite of their hotel. Gwen has put a tail on her and Jake, and the nefarious Neil is photographing them and collecting evidence.

When Jake and Lindsey escape for a hike, she is led by her lover up a dangerous trail. She then slips and is clinking for her life on the edge of the cliff, until fortuitously rescued by a park ranger. This episode is one of many in which Lindsey is imperiled on her vacation. Even the handbook she is reading on motherhood is torn to tatters by he jealous Gwen.

The only breath of fresh air for Lindsey was the sensitive yoga teacher Kirk. Their scenes together at least provided some comfort to a kind mother-to-be who was drowning in a sea of troubles. This unpleasant viewing experience was only made palatable due to the cheerful baby shower in the denouement. By that time, Lindsey's nemesis had finally taken the big fall to put an end to her killer vacation.

Surprisingly, as most other reviewers state, this is a nice film. Modern yet timeless story and for sure a movie that is worth your time.

Love seeing Jacob and Alexa acting together again! You can see their soap chemistry shining through! Jacob is great at playing jerks! Soap actors always shine in these movies.
